Mike Castle won't endorse Christine O'Donnell for Senate, citing 'smears' (Waah!)
Washington Post ^ | September 16, 2010 | Paul Kane

Posted on 09/16/2010 1:06:47 PM PDT by maggief

Still grappling with his shocking primary defeat, Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) said Thursday that he will not endorse GOP Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell because he could not tolerate some of the "personal smears" he faced during the campaign.

Castle has spent the past 36 hours fielding phone calls and pats on the back from well-wishing colleagues and other politicians, including President Obama, Vice President Biden, House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and dozens of others. He said that he was coming to grips with the reasons for his defeat - a conservative rebellion in the southern portion of the state that was given extra ammunition by Sarah Palin's endorsement of O'Donnell. But he said that there probably wasn't enough time in the next six weeks for him to get over some of the attacks lobbed in the contest.

Mike Castle, former RINO hack into the dustbin of history.

He ruled out supporting the Democratic nominee, New Castle County Executive Christopher Coons, suggesting that he will remain neutral in the run for Senate.

That's an important takeaway. There were rumors that Coons asked him for an endorsement and that Castle was considering it.

Sounds like he’s almost hoping a do-over.

Hey Mike, you might consider hair plugs. Ask Biden about it when you see him.

Mike Castle is disgracing himself and in the process, showing his lack of character and, just as crucial, his inability to understand why he lost a Republican primary that was supposed to be ‘in the bag’. Americans are very concerned with the direction America is headed (failed European socialism) and fed up with RINOs that go to Washington and ignore the people that sent them there as they help the Democrats run the country into bankruptcy. Castle will likely end up with some cushy job in the Obama administration, justified by his ‘experience’. Good riddance.

A 'rebellion in the southern portion' of Deleware. Riiight.

The left are masters at self-delusion, and wish everyone else was, too.

Don’t be surprised if Castle is considering a Third Party run, if that is allowed in Del.
